My mom has to get a new car, but it is a little unexpected.
She won't drive a chevy, dodge, or ford.
She doesn't want a truck.
She would like the vehicle to be about $20,000 or less, but it is okay to go a little over.
The year doesn't matter.
New or used doesn't matter.
She wants it to get about 30 mph highway.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance! (:
Answer
A LITLE more info would help, such as big, small, four door or two.
20K can buy a lot of things. If she wants to go for something larger, I would check out Kia Optima, or Hyundai Sonata. Consumer reports rates both very highly. They share engines and I believe transmissions, both get class-leading mileage; I prefer the Optima because I think it looks like a Jag.
You can't go wrong with a Camry or an Accord, but they are a tad boring, and may be closer to 25K now.
If she wants a 4 door that's a little smaller, but still somewhat sporty, the Suzuki Kizashi is getting very good reviews and is supposed to be a lot of fun to drive. The 2 door vernon is the Koupe, also a decent car.
If she wants to go small with 4 doors, Hyndai Elentra, Civic, Corolla, Mazda 3 and Subaru Impreza are all reliable, and get decent mileage. If she lie the Impreza (which has all wheel drive, great for snow), or the Mazda 3, then make sure it's a 2012, as they just changed the engines and transmissions, greatly increasing the mileage.
IF she wants sporty, go used; an Accord coupe with a 6 cylinder is a nice option, 2006-2007 models get about 29 all the time, 33 on the highway. The newer ones have larger engines, and don't' get as good mileage. Unless you get a 4 cylinder, not as much fun, though.
I hope that helps.

I done oil change regularly... Just had spark plugs and Fuel Filter change... When I try to start it it just won't.. It tries but it won't I has lost power, is leaking a bit of oil... The check engine light came on. Not sure can it be the gas pump of a head gasket... I not sure what it can be... Should I just get rid of the car? PLease if anyone knows anything give me some tips...
It also has a new battery...
Answer
What is the mileage on the car and has it been maintained regularly, not just oil changes but other required services? First, engine oil is a lubricant it lubes the engine while it runs so it rarely has anything to do with starting issues unless it was allowed to run with little or no oil for any extended period. If that occurred, there could be major engine damage that might affect starting. Assuming that isn't your problem since you said you have done oil changes there's so many possibilities its impossible to cover everything without more info. You have to have three things for an engine to run fuel, air, and spark so we need to know which of these are present and which ones aren't. Give us that and we can make some educated guesses.
